What is recorded here
Mounds and ditches mark a forgotten chamber where human lives and fairy tales still entangle.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 42.2m) enclosed by two earthen banks with wide, deep, waterlogged intermediate fosse. Outer bank identifiable only from SSW-SW. Fosse has been infilled from SW-W. Break in inner bank with accompanying causeway at SE represents original entrance.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
